Mandurah LEMP - General Plan 24
3.1 Key Roles & Incident Coordination
3.1.1 Local Emergency Coordinator
The Officer in Charge at the Mandurah Police Station is the appointed Local Emergency
Coordinator (LEC) for the Mandurah area.
The LEC is responsible for ensuring that the roles and functions of their respective LEMC
are performed and assisting the HMA in the provision of a coordinated multi-agency
response during emergency incidents.
3.1.2 Emergency Coordination Centre
The Mandurah Emergency Coordination Centre is to be located at the City of Mandurah
Council Chambers and Civic Centre.
Where this venue is found to be unsuitable, the LEC is responsible for identifying an
alternate location. The ECC shall be established to assist the coordination of multi-agency
activity associated with a large scale incident. The facility shall contain sufficient space,
administration infrastructure and communications facilities. Refer to Appendix 7 for the
community facility register.
3.1.3 Incident Support Group

coordination of services and information during a major incident.
Triggers for an ISG

Mandurah LEMP - General Plan 25
Membership of an ISG
The composition of the ISG will depend greatly on the nature and magnitude of the event.
It may include the following core members:
LEC
Chairperson/Deputy of Mandurah LEMC
Executive Officer of Mandurah LEMC
HMA
LRC
Representatives from the required combat and support agencies.

3.1.4 Hazard Management Structure
The Emergency Management Act 2005 allows the prescription of Hazard Management
Agencies (HMAs). HMAs are prescribed, given their functions under written law or because
of their specialised knowledge, expertise and resources in respect to a particular hazard.
HMAs will nearly always be responsible for leading a response to an emergency in relation
to the type of hazard for which they are prescribed.
A combat agency or support organisation may also be prescribed because of the agency's
function under a written law or because of specialised knowledge, expertise and resources
in dealing with a particular type of hazard or emergency management activity. They will
work alongside and at the direction of the respective HMA in response to an emergency and
undertake the specific emergency management activities or support functions for which they
are prescribed.
See Appendix 3 for the HMA appointment register.
Mandurah LEMP - General Plan 26

3.3 Evacuation
3.3.1 Evacuation Management
The responsibility for managing evacuation rests with the HMA. The HMA is responsible for
planning, communicating and effecting the evacuation and ensuring the welfare of the
evacuees is maintained. The HMA is also responsible for ensuring the safe return of
evacuees.
CPFS must be consulted during the consideration or planning of evacuation as they have
responsibility under state plans to maintain the welfare of evacuees under Westplan Welfare.
Refer to the Western Australian Community Evacuation in Emergencies Guideline when
planning evacuation.
3.3.2 Evacuation Routes & Considerations
The southern suburbs in the Mandurah district is uniquely shaped as a thin strip of land with
two water bodies bordering the western and eastern boundaries. This will provide limitations
for evacuation specifically in an east/west direction.
Evacuation planning has taken place for the suburb of Parklands due to the construction of
the freeway limiting access in an easterly direction. This plan can be seen in Appendix 4.
3.3.3 Vulnerable Community Groups
It is acknowledged that the local schools, aged care and child care facilities should each
have separate emergency evacuation plans. These are to be taken into consideration when
planning evacuation.
Contact details for these groups can be found in the Vulnerable Communities Plan.
Through the AWARE project in 2014 /15 local residential aged care and independent living
facilities were encouraged to develop MoU’s with one another. These MoU’s are to assist
with the provision of mutual aid, including evacuation during the event of an emergency. The
details of this MoU and its partnering facilities can also be seen in the Vulnerable
Communities Plan.
Mandurah LEMP - General Plan 28

Welfare Centre Activation Kits
The City has three Welfare Centre Activation Kits located at the Administration Centre,
MARC and HHCC. These kits are to be used to assist with the initial set up of a welfare
centre if CPFS is not present.
Registration
Registration at a welfare centre is not mandatory, but does assist CPFS in supporting
evacuees. Registration information is placed onto a State or National register to assist in the
reunification of evacuees with family and friends.
Registration usually occurs at the local welfare centre and the City may be required to assist
with this process.
The Register.Find.Reunite registration form can be seen in Appendix 6 and copies are
located within each welfare centre activation kit.
Animals
Refer to the Animal Welfare Plan.

3.5 Business Continuity Considerations
Working in emergency situations requires agencies to consider worse case scenarios.
The CoM has created an Emergency Customer Request (CRM) Form to support
communications and customer service in the event of a power or systems outage. They are
not designed to replace standard business procedures, only provide a paper based
alternative when online systems are not available.
The Emergency CRM books are located throughout the organisation and within the Welfare
Centre Activation Kits.
Each agency is responsible for their own business continuity plans. However the City
acknowledges the benefits to incident coordination by facilitating inter-agency cooperation
during response and recovery efforts. The Mandurah SES have been provided several
books for use in an emergency operations, should they receive a request for assistance that
requires CoM attention. Details can be captured on the CRM form and issued to the CoM for
actioning. These forms may be used in an ECC for the same purpose.
The Emergency Customer Request Form can be seen in Appendix 9.
